Test Mode / Test Menu

Introduction

Manual Test Mode software allows service
personnel to monitor the telephone status on
the display, and manually control tele-phone
functions via the keypad.
Manual Test Mode operates at two levels: -
Status Display Level, which allows the
phone to operate normally while providing
status indications in the display. Servicing
Level, which disables normal call-processing
and allows commands to be entered through
the keypad to manually control operation of
the phone.

Status Display Level

Status Display Level is the power-up state in
Manual Test Mode. Manual Test Mode is
entered by momentarily shorting the test pin
of the accessory connector J3 to ground,
while turning the phone on. Use the MCEL
2000 (SLN6625A) and Test Cable
(SKN4800A). See Figure 7: "Connections
for Testing and Adjustments" on page 48 In
this level of Manual Test Mode the phone
will place and receive calls as normal, but
the display shows status information. The
first line of data indicates channel number,
RSSI value, and call-processing mode. The
second line of data indicates SAT frequency,
carrier state, signaling tone state, power
level, voice/data channel mode, Rx audio
state, and Tx audio state. The format and
23
explanation of this status information is
given in Table 1 under "02# Radio Status
Request." When dialing a phone number, the
status display ceases when the first digit of
the phone number is entered. The telephone
number is displayed in the normal manner as
entered. When the Snd button (or End or
Clr) is pressed, the status information display
resumes.

Servicing Level

The servicing level allows service personnel
to manually control operation of a phone by
entering test commands through the
tele-phone keypad. Parameters such as
oper-ating channel, output power level, mut-
ing, and data transmission can all be selected
by entering the corresponding commands.
To enter the Servicing Level, press the # but-
ton while in Status Display level (power-up
state of Manual Test Mode). In the Servicing
Level, automatic call processing functions
are disabled, and the phone is instead con-
trolled manually by keypad commands.
Table 2: "Test Commands For Manual Test
Mode" on page 14 shows the test commands
and the corresponding results.
NOTE
There is no Status Display when the phone
is in CDMA mode.
